The cross-back café chair has filled French bistros and country kitchens since the late nineteenth century, when steam-bent wood made seating light, strong and cheap enough to crowd a busy dining room. It crossed the Channel early, and the tea rooms and inns of English market towns took to light bentwood chairs as readily as Paris did.
This pair has wood frames, in a choice of finishes, that draw a sharp outline round their woven rattan seats, which are light, breathable and have a little give. Each chair has a curved top rail, an open back of crossed splats and tapered legs that splay outward, braced by arched hoops. The seats are at a standard dining height, and both chairs arrive fully assembled.
A pair suits a small bistro table in a kitchen corner, where two people can share a pot of coffee and the crossword, or a city apartment dining nook by the window. They are also useful to fill the ends of a table of mismatched chairs. They look particularly good against pale tiles, a marble-topped table and a cluster of brass candlesticks. This listing is for a set of two chairs.
